This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 85
(Favorites plus more chapters)

After showing his outstanding strength on the defensive end, Jay Lewis became even more excited, and took the initiative to find Tony Skinner for a pick-and-roll, and Tony Skinner also tactfully passed the ball to Jay Lewis.

Jay Lewis slapped the ball hard on the ground and rushed through it. Armstrong straightened his arms, trying to intercept Jay Lewis' attack.

Lewis and Hilton Armstrong collided fiercely. Jay Lewis was still able to stabilize his figure, but Armstrong staggered when he was hit. Lewis made a layup with a low hand, sent the ball into the basket, and the whistle sounded at the same time .

"Offensive foul, he's an offensive foul."

After the referee showed that it was a defensive foul, Armstrong quit, he argued.

But the referee ignored his thoughts. If Rudy Gay hadn't stopped him in time, Armstrong would have been given an additional technical foul by the referee.

Lewis did not make a shot and added a free throw. This season, Lewis' free throw percentage is almost [-]%, which is not good.

But that's irrelevant.

11-7, 16'04 left in the first half.

Going back to the opponent's offensive round, this time the possession of the ball returned to Rudy Gay. He quickly passed the opposing Will Thomas in the first step, but Zhou Lin's help defense was in place. At the moment he stopped the ball, he came up to grab it, and Rudy Gay forced himself to shoot, but missed.

The ball fell into his hands, and now Will Thomas stood up.

Although he was a few centimeters shorter than the opponent, he tried his best to block Rudy Gay's shot.

And also fight this rebound.

Zhou Lin received the ball and ran towards the frontcourt. Under the premise that neither the opponent nor his own inside players were in place, Zhou Lin distributed the ball to Tony Skinn on the left, facing a wide open.

Tony Skin, who had a hit rate of only 33%, did not disappoint Zhou Lin's trust.

Hit again, allowing Zhou Lin to get the third assist of the field.

14-7, the Patriots had an absolute advantage in the opening game.

This scene was unexpected by most of the fans present.

And observe the scoring of the Patriots.

Zhou Lin scored 2 points, Lamar Butler 5 points, Tony Skinner 3 points, and Jay Lewis 4 points.

It can be said that all members of the Patriots in the opening game have entered the state and blossomed more. Even Will Thomas before him also contributed a wonderful block on the defensive end.

This is the situation that Coach Jim and Zhou Lin are most willing to see. Although Zhou Lin doesn't look so good, he will play more easily and can save his energy until the critical moment.

Coach Calhoun is naturally very dissatisfied with the players.

In fact, this is also a failure of tactical execution. The tall lineup that was originally prepared did not gain a huge advantage in the interior. Hilton Armstrong, who was just elected the best defensive player of the year in the Big East, became the target of the opponent's attack. This is Calhoun intolerable.

Hilton Armstrong was replaced by Jeff Adrian.

Josh Boone was transferred to the fifth position, while Rudy Gay was transferred to the fourth position.

Undoubtedly, Hilton Armstrong's offensive methods are slightly lacking, and the inside line that can only eat cakes and defend has a bit of overlap with Josh Boone in terms of effectiveness. Being replaced will be of great help to the lineup's speed-up and offensive changes.

Jeff Adrian, also a TOP2005 high school student in the class of 100, is 245-foot-[-] and weighs [-] pounds. He has good hands and can finish at the basket and in the middle distance.

At present, the role of the Huskies in the regular rotation is second only to Sharad Anderson. He averaged only 16 minutes per game but scored 6.5 points, and his shooting percentage reached a terrifying 61%. The attack is also close to the basket. And 5 rebounds.

It can be said that the efficiency value is very high.

His body shape is very similar to that of Will Thomas, and his hairstyle is also that kind of retro-style hairstyle, which looks [-] to [-]% similar from the back.

And as soon as he came up, Jeff Adrian made a shot and received a pass from Marcus Williams, made a low-handed layup to avoid Will Thomas' defense, and scored two points. The Huskies added two points.

14-9, 15'36 left in the first half.

However, the Patriots responded quickly. After receiving a pass from Lamar Butler, Will Thomas made a small throw over the opponent's fingertips and scored two points.

16-9, 15'05 left in the first half.
So far, in the opening 5 minutes, all the starting players of the Patriots have scored, which is also a scene that is difficult to see in the Patriots game.

Both sides attacked smoothly in the first 5 minutes of the game, but in the next 5 minutes, both sides increased their defensive strength. As the physical strength began to pass, the shooting rate began to decline.

Both sides scored only one sports game score.

At 13′25, Zhou Lin received a pass from Tony Skin and made a shot from the free throw line.

At 12′14, Rudy Gay of the Huskies made a three-pointer under the defense of Zhou Lin.

The Huskies, however, earned more free throws and drew more non-shooting fouls.

Among them, Adrian made two free throws, Denham Brown made two free throws, and Josh Boone made one of two free throws.

On the Patriots side, Jay Lewis made four free throws, but only made two of four free throws.

At 10'21, when Coach Jim called a timeout, the UConn Huskies had a 16-20 advantage over the George Mason University Patriots by only 4 points.

And because of two consecutive fouls by Denham Brown, the team's core pitcher Lamar Butler also needs to be replaced.

Fralin Campbell was brought on the court, and the opposing team replaced Marcus Williams with their [-]-point shooter, Sharad Anderson.

After a silent 5-minute offensive slump, Jay Lewis won the hand-to-hand fight with Josh Boone in the opening game, and once again played a two-plus-one inside.

Consecutive goals and free throws scored three points.

His score came to a game-high 9 points.

Back at halftime, Tony Skinner couldn't stop Sharad Anderson, who was half a head taller than him, at all. The latter hit a long-range three-pointer, like a microwave oven.

8'56, 23-19, the Patriots continued to lead by four points.

Adrian, suddenly felt wide open inside, and hit two goals in a row.

On the Patriots side, it was Will Thomas who grabbed two consecutive offensive rebounds in one round and finally scored a goal.

This game has scored 4 points and 5 rebounds.

7'02, 25-23, the point difference was further narrowed.
